[Bruce] So, you're saying
you went back in time? -[Barry] Mm-hmm.
-Like in Pozharnov? [Barry with mouth full] Yeah,
like in Pozharnov, except, but Pozharnov was a second.

This time
I went back a whole day. [Bruce] So, let's imagine... that it is, in fact, possible
for you to run... faster than
the speed of light... and in so doing,
travel back in time.

It still would be... wildly irresponsible. I knew you were gonna say this. Yes, because, Barry,
if you were to go into the past, any interaction you have
with your parents or yourself, you step on
the wrong blade of grass,

you have no idea
what the consequences to that could be. No, I know.
The butterfly effect, right? -Yes.
-I get it. But Bruce... I could fix things. You could
also destroy everything. I could save her.

I could save both of them. I... I could save your parents. [somber music playing] Barry, these scars we have... make us who we are. We're not meant
to go back and fix them. And there's nothing
broken with you that needs to be fixed.

Take it from an old guy
who's made a lot of mistakes. Don't live your past. Live your life. Don't let your tragedy
define you. What if it's supposed
to define me? Your tragedy made you a hero.

And also made me alone. We could hang out. I mean,
do you wanna get a bite? Like, I'm still hungry. Not this time. Maybe some other time. Yeah. [Iris] Nice ride. You have fancy friends.

Yeah, it was an Uber. Exec. Look, Iris, I really can't
talk about the case at all.
